Who we are

Our website address is: http://ffmm.lproots.com/. This website is created and maintained by Lisa Perkins, the webmaster.

If you would like to contact her, please use the contact form under Get In Touch. If you use this form, you will be providing your name and email address which she may retain indefinitely.

Besides your name and email address and anything you write on the contact form that you choose to submit, there is no other data collected about you by the webmaster.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

Currently, this site does not utilize a comment feature, but if it ever does, this would be the data collected: Comments left on the site would result in any data that you included in your comment as well as your computer’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

If the comment feature were enabled, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, a feature not currently enabled, or provide them to the webmaster for use on the website, you should avoid uploading and sharing images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

If you use the contact form, you will be providing your name and email address which the webmaster will see so that they can respond to you.
